Archiochrome
Definition
An extremely rare term used in some works on the history of biology or early evolutionary theories to designate a hypothetical primitive biological pigment or the original, ancestral state of coloration of an organism or cellular structure. It represents a structural theoretical concept that attempted to explain the evolution of chromatic systems in nature from simple to complex forms.
